Puebla de Sanabria has been declared a Historic- Artistic Site for the uniqueness of its monuments, in addition to its well-preserved secular architecture protected by walled enclosures.

Its principal monument is the Castle which dates from the last quarter of the fifteenth century. A stately fortress with military uses, it is found today in an exceptional state of repair and houses a cultural centre and museum, making it an ideal tourist destination.

This complex is complemented by the Our Lady of Azogue Parish Church with its Romanesque portals, and the neoclassical San Cayetano Chapel, as well as the Museo de Gigantes y Cabezudos (larger-than-life figures often used in festivals). 33 'cabezudos' (figures with particulary big heads) and 10 giants have been part of the intangible heritage of this town since the mid-nineteenth century when they began to be paraded through the streets at the Victories festival.

The Elizabethan façade of the Town Hall, and the emblazoned houses of noble families such as the Losadas, Ossorios and Aguilares deserve to be enjoyed as part of a leisurely walk both day and night, when they are atmospherically lit to enhance your enjoyment of the town's past.

All this heritage is perfectly complemented by the natural environment surrounding the historic town. 

To the southeast, the Sierra de la Culebra - a Regional Hunting Reserve covering more than 65,000 hectares and forming a natural border with the Montesinho Park in neighbouring Portugal. These are hills of medium altitude where a unique flora and fauna coexists, notably including the Iberian wolf. To find out more about this protected species you can visit the Iberian Wolf Centre in the town of Robledo de Sanabria. This is a spectacular building with a modern museum layout and a fenced area enabling visitors to observe the animal in its natural habitat through viewpoints designed for this purpose.

Also in the village of Robledo you can visit the restored wash-houses, the forge and the wax press as well as the parish church with its Romanesque capitals.

The abundance of forests testifies to the mycological richness of the area. In the Mycological Museum of Ungilde of Sanabria, specially preserved specimens enable us to learn about the most highly appreciated species of mushroom and fungus all year round, as well as the most unusual.
